More than 50 migrants crammed inside a small boat were apprehended by the U.S. Coast Guard on Tuesday. The agency says the migrants were at the start of a long journey to the U.S.
The U.S. Coast Guard intercepted dozens of migrants on Tuesday who were crammed inside a 'makeshift' boat near Puerto Rico making a treacherous journey to the U.S. The rickety, 30-foot-long, white-colored vessel, which had 'J5' painted across its side, was picked up about 27 nautical miles southwest of Puerto Rico’s Mona Island with 51 desperate migrants and a suspected smuggler inside, officials said.
Last month, a Carnival cruise ship rescued 27 Cuban nationals found adrift and signaling for help roughly 20 miles west of Cuba. Meanwhile, in March, law enforcement apprehended two dozen illegal migrants – including women and children – off the coast of Florida in a large fishing boat.
